"It is clear that Assad will not be sending a representative to Annapolis togrant legitimacy to a bilateral Israeli-Palestinian process that is meant to endup with an agreement between the Zionist entity and the Fatah-led PA. Keep in mind that Damascus houses and fully supports Hamas, which is ideologically opposed to any such process. Rather, Assad has a price for his attendance and for moving away from Iran."

Regaining the Golan heights has driven Syrian policy since the IDF took it fair and square in a real war. It has been one of the ideals behind Bashar's regime since he assumed power. An intregal part of Kuryat Suriyah will take some repositioning before reclaiming.

Disowning Hiz'B'Allah, refraining from blatant and covert interference in Lebanon and officially recognizing Israel seems like a high price to pay for the Golan. Easing sanctions and restrictions on Syria by the Great Satan are powerfully desired bits of legitimacy for Al Assad.

One by one, the Great Satan is forcing the unelected leaders of the ME to get with it or get dissed, smacked or replaced. Countering every Arab League raison de doofuss for the ME's failures is brilliant - especially if Annapolis itself fails.

When the Great Satan's hudna finally gives way to the Great Satan's jihad - America unbound can remind targeted regimes and their precious assets - Annapolis was their bridge to avoid all this 'instability'. And they blew it.

You have such a way with words. I love it. I don't understand Great Satan's actions these days. We are funding universities in Gaza, we are providing highly technical security 'stuff' to Syria, and on and on. We keep playing both sides of these situations we only end up screwing ourselves don't we?

just found you and i love your site. you posit some wise points and i have to agree with debbie - i just don't understand what we're up to most of the times these days. i wonder if we are playing both sides in the hope that no matter what happens we'll be on the winning side. i really wish we would just move to the right side and leave the world politicking out of it.

great site and i'm glad i found you. hope your thanksgiving was a good one.

wHoA!
